Hey there, #ncpol! My name is Paul Barringer. I'm a husband, father, lawyer, and Lee County native. I've taught Sunday school for the last twenty years, I'm a big fan of fried chicken and lentils, and today, I'm announcing I'm running as a Democrat for Congress in NC's 13th District!
Hey y’all! I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time to get out in the district and meet some folks! Next weekend, 11/15 & 11/16 I’m going to be riding my bike through the district. Would love to meet up with y’all! If you bike and wanna join just send a DM!

Y’all, we are now in the longest government shutdown in U.S history. That’s unacceptable. Our representatives on both sides of the aisle need to sit down and solve this and get back to doing the country’s business, without making health insurance unaffordable.

Despite the successful lawsuit from multiple Attorneys General, SNAP benefits are still being disrupted and not fully funded. That’s unacceptable. We need to fully fund SNAP and end this shutdown while also ensuring that health insurance premiums won’t skyrocket.

UPDATE 10/31 5:30 PM- Two federal judges in Massachusetts & Rhode Island have ordered the Trump administration to continue funding SNAP using the $4 billion in contingency funds during the government shutdown
Hunger does not care about your political affiliation. The fact is, SNAP benefits will be ending for the foreseeable future starting tomorrow. Chances are you know someone who will be affected by this.

“Farmers want a market not a bailout” I grew up on a farm, I live on a farm. And I’ve seen that the trade war with China is hurting farmers all over the district. Meanwhile we’re bailing out farmers in Argentina while ignoring our farmers at home.

The people of North Carolina deserve fair maps. Democracy deserves fair maps. The gerrymandering and redistricting of NC-1 disenfranchises voters, plain and simple. That ain’t right. The voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around.

Thank you to NC Secretary of State @elaine4nc.bsky.social for coming out to our event in Smithfield last week! Your presence means a lot!

Brad Knott went to Congress for one reason: to cozy up to Republican insiders and corporate lobbyists.

He doesn't want to actually do anything — he's just waiting for an opportunity to run for higher office.

We deserve better. I'm proud to be running to *serve* my neighbors.
So far in Congress, Brad Knott has spent more time thinking about running for higher office than he has about the folks back home in NC-13. That ain't right — and we deserve better.
It was my honor to attend the Bryant Family Reunion over the weekend! So much fun, fellowship, and history. Thank you to many friends for your hospitality and the invitation.
It was my honor to meet with pastors from across the region yesterday in Sanford! Truly rewarding to be in the presence of so many great leaders.
One of my favorite parts about campaigning so far has been meeting so many wonderful folks from all across the 13th district! I'm so proud to be running to serve my friends and neighbors in Congress. #NC13
Congress should look out for the people, not billionaires.

The GOP is cutting healthcare for those who need it most just to give billionaires tax cuts — at the same time adding $4T to the national debt.

Do they need another private island or more gold toilets? It ain’t right.
Brad Knott and Republicans in Congress are cutting crucial programs like SNAP and Medicaid just to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

He is way out of touch with the people of North Carolina — and in November, we're going to send him back home.
⁨It's been an honor traveling around the district, meeting new and old friends, and hearing directly from folks on the ground!

Together, we're going to elect a true voice for NC-13 — not just another cog in a broken machine.⁩
As many as 32,000 residents of #NC13 could lose Medicaid coverage because of the GOP’s massive spending bill—all while increasing the national debt by trillions. We should be expanding healthcare and shrinking our debt, not the other way around.

Thanks, Brad!

It was great to join many new friends from across the district at the #NC13 Democrats convention Saturday!

Together, with your help, we're going to flip this seat and help set our country in a new direction. #NCPol
Thank you to everyone who has already stepped up to support my campaign! We're going to flip this seat and bring common sense to Washington—together. #ncpol #nc13
Thank you! I appreciate any support you can give.
I'm throwing my hat into this race to bring common sense and NC values to Washington—and to walk alongside the people of the 13th District every step of the way. If you're with me, please help us start strong with a grassroots contribution today. #ncpol
I'm supporting Paul Barringer.
Help us flip NC-13!

I believe in practical solutions, fiscal responsibility, local control, and common-sense health & justice reforms. And I believe in an independent Congress that is willing to make laws, control the purse, and oversee the executive and judicial branches of government. #ncpol
I’m running for Congress because, honestly, we need different representation. Maybe like you, I’ve been dismayed by current events the last few months—and I think we need a different, better direction for our country. All our current rep offers is more of the same. #ncpol
